Six Weeks in February

Neao York Dispatch to the Philadelphia Star,
Ned Gilmore and Mckee Rankin had what
threatened to be row the other night at Niblo S
Garden. Gilmore however, carried the honors
off. as usual, and with not much of an effort at
that. Rankin was to have produced Macbeth"
in a week or two at Niblo's. but at the last mo-
ment Manager Gilmore gave the time to another
attraction Rankin rushed to him, with fire in
his eyes and anger in his soul and demanded to
know the reason why he was shut out of the
theatre.
why, you're not ready" said Mr.. Gilmore,
innocently
But will be" protested Rankin.
I'm afraid not, said the other gentleman.
but tell you l WILL" said the actor, hotly,
"or I'll sue for damages
"Oh, well" said Mr.. Gilmore, with the air of a
man who is too good-natured to take any worry
in his life, don't bother about it and I'll give
you six weeks time in February"
win your gasped Rankin, delightedly.
six weeks" repeated Mr.. Gilmore, senten-
tiously.
Mr.. Rankin wrung his hand and departed hap
PLY up town. 1t was some hours before he
realized that there is a palpable degree of diff
Guilty in inserting six long weeks in the very
short month of February. Then bitterness
filled his SOUL and his remarks about Gilmore
were free and forcbe.

Eantli thl Q,.paIr,,d Nan I'LL.

There was a French woman who played the
violin receiving 500 day therefor, and as
women we're 80 scarce in those days, whenever
she left the saloon to go out on the street every
saloon around the square was emptied to get q
look at her. In these saloons there were piles of
gold, both in coin and in sacks of gold dust, that
would put some of our commercial banks of the
present day to the blush, and long tables that
had their croupiers ready to rake in or pay out
as fast as the cards were turned off have
often watched some novice who was putting
down his first ventures at play. On one occa-
sion / saw at the same table two clergymen
shove their coin under another mans arm on the
ta0le. knew them both and know of what
speak-we are ali mortals after all.
Among other noted players was Judge at
that time, who made it point every evening to
go around from place to place and make high
play. Upon entering with his attendant, who
carried the sack, he would first sit down at a
table and bar off every other player; then set
his time of play at a lmir, say twenty minutes
or half an hour, the stakes from $40 900 to $40,
900, with the bank. Meantime, to keep the
crowd that would be in at the time. which would
number from 300 up to near 1000, he always
asked them all to take drink, which meant
25c. head for the bar; and if he won he paid
for the drinks if he lost the bank had them to
nav for

The Song of the Sirens.
Flnn, Mocmillan,s Maaazfne.


The moonlight bathes the sea,
And the ripples wash the sand,
The song Of our hearts goes free
Down the shelving silver strand.
Neither goddesScS are we, nor women,
Nor angels nor spirits of death;
We are maidenS of evil omen,
And we breathe the sea spray for our breath.
The gods love us not in heaven,
The souls of drowned men in hell
Curse us, from morn till even,
For tine songs we sing so well.
We are neither alive nor dead,
We know not of death nor of life,
But the life of man is our bread,
And the tears of the widowed wife.
When the Mother of all, before the light
Labored TO bring forth gods TO Chaos.
Wrapped in the pail of ancient night,
No mother had we in her bosom TO lay us.
To dande and fondle caress us and nurse us,
For we sprang out of moonlight and soft sea
And we sing that the sailors may love us and
And die in the song of the lips they have
kissed.
In the thick darkness the ages moaned
When the Mother Travelled; the sbapeless
The awful father, Chaos, groaned.
Shaking the vaults of space as he trod.
Then the Mother laid hold of the pillars of
Aud bowed herself and shrieked aloud,
Till the armament rocked beneath her might
And split and was rentainto streamers OF
cloud,
The broad black waste of space was torn,
The arch of heaven YVES burst to the day,
The sun leaped up, and the gods were born,
And Chaos the father passed away.
But gods and men have bodies and souls.
And they live and they know that their lives
are sweet,
While the dear sun shines and the blue tide
rolls
While the heart is full and the pulses beat.
The beasts of the forest, the hocks on the
mountain,
The brightwinged birds and the fish in the
deep,
All drink of the water of lifc's clear fountain
AL die at the last and are lost in sleep

Chicago's Modesty.


A hright-eyed little miss of years rode down
on a Madison street car last evening sitting on
her fathers knee. She was so full of queries
stream Some of her questions were posers,
and the father showed signs of weakness several
times. He struggled along gallantly, however,
and the passengers got interested in the contest.
The fodder finished him up, however, just as
the car was numbering over the viaduct west of
the bridge.
IF got IN one of those cars where would |
be tomorrow" she demanded as her eyes
caught the cars in the Union depot.
You'd go To sleep aid wake up in st. Paul in
the morning.. answered the father.
Who'd wake me upY"
1.-The porter, the man in the car"
For moment missy was silent. Then she
cast look of scorn upon papa, and in tone OF
inimitable contempt she said: And do you
suppose Id let man dress me?"

A young negro, educated in Maine, is in
New York, and tells of his terrible expert
ence in Aberdeen, Miss, where he went TO
secure place in the public schools. He did
not get the position he wanted, and gives as

obliged to make affidavit that he would

best Of his ability, the interest and pcrma-
nency of the Democratic party, live by it

for no reason whatever he was ordered to
leave the town, and finally did so, barely in
time to escape being lynched. In the Maine
school where this young man received his
education, he was evidently not taught to
always speak the truth, or else has profited
little by the instruction received. The sea-
son for campaign lies is just opening, and

She Wanted Some Flowers.
From, the Boston Courier.

FROM Cne boston courier.
A lady living in the suburbs was called down
the other morning to see young girl who asked
for her at the door, but declined to enter the
house. The lady recognized the caller as a girl
she had frequently seen in the neighborhood,
but of whose name she was ignorant.
The girl looked hurriedly up and then bash
fully cast down her eyes to the doormat, which
she nervouSy prodded with the toe of her coarse
boot.
Got any fiowers?" she demanded, with a
manner which seemed gruff, but which was
probably only frightened.
Yes, few" was the reply.

than before
but what is she going to do with them p

And the pathetic situation having thus become
clear at length, the lady sent TO the departed

New Story About Napoleon's Heart
Gable Dispatch to the Ne,o York Nail and En-

New Story About NapoleOn'S Heart.
Gable Dispatch to the Ne,U York Nail and Er-
press.
The alleged disappearance of the remains of
Napoleon |. from the tomb in the Invalides has
brought into publicity very curious anecdote,
which is related by Dr. Bremond, in his work on
Hygiene" The doctor alleges that the heart
of Napoleon was eaten by rats i'll May 1921. 1t
is a remarkable story, and has increased the
sensation occasioned by the rumored theft of
beguna post morton examination of Napoleon S
plete their labors on the day on which they
suspended their operations until the next day.
On resuming their examination of the body on
the following morning, they discovered
that Napoleon's heart had been devoured
by rats. Upon this revelation, and to pre-
vent the accident becoming publicly known,
they substituted for the natural heart a portion
of the viscera of a sheep. This is the tale which
is now supplementing the previous sensation,
and it finds credence as readily as the other.
The officials at the Invalides deny the truth of
this extraordinary story as Strenuousy as they
denied the canard about the removal of Napo-
Icons remains They contend, very plausbly,
that more care was taken of the body than
would appear from DR.. Bremond's account and
that it was carefully watched all night long,
during the cessation of the labors of the
examining physicians. Nevertheless, the cir
cumstantal manner in which the story is told
has greatly impressed many Parisians with q
belief in its verify, and further investigation
will probably take place to satisfy their doubt
and curiosity.

Mr.. Lamar'S Critics,

A Republican journal, in trying to ex-
plain why the disasters it prophesied as the
result of Democratic success in 1884 have
not come upon the country, lays stress on
the fact that the Senate and the Supreme
Court are still Republican The one
stands, it says, like rock in the way of
reckless legislation, and the other is ready
to preserve the results of the war 1t then
goes on to repeat the prophecies of disaster
which proved to have SO little influence in
1884, making them contingent this time on
the election of Democrats to The Senate and
the elevation of Mr.. Lamar and men like him
to the Supreme Court bench. 1t takes occa-
sion to speak of Mr. Lamar as a blatant
rebel and repudiationist.
1t is not necessary in this latitude to deny
such charges as these, but they naturally
raise the question as to what results of the
war there are to be preserved only by the
Supreme Courts remaining Republican. No
one fears that the questions settled by the
war will be raised again. 1t is not asserted
now that State has right to secede, and
law has done all it can for the negro. No
Supreme Court decision will hasten or re-
tard the progress of the colored people.
Mr.. Lamar is called a rebel because,
when Senator, he denied that jefferson
Davis was traitor and repudiationist
because Mississippi refused to pay certain
claims which she thinks are unjust.
Mr.. Lamar is well qualified in every re-
spect for position on the Supreme bench.
He has courage, integrity and ability, and
on the Supreme bench he would make his
mark, as he has made it in every position
which he has held.

A Brave Messenger.

j. Ernest Smith, the express messenger
who killed two men who attempted to rob
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
express last week, an account of which was
given in our dispatches, deserves something
more than an expression of thanks from
those who were benefited by his brave act.
Train robbers have been so successful not
only in securing plumber, but in escaping
arrest, since the practice of robbing trains
began, that they have grown reclSlessly
bold. In some instances they have acted as
if they apprehended very little, if any,
trouble in accomplishing their purposes
The resistance offered by Messenger Smith
will have the effect of making other mes
sengers more determined in protecting the
property intrusted to them, and of causing
train robbers to be little more cautious in
attacking railway trains.
According to the first account of the af
fair only one of the robbers was killed by
the messenger, but later and fuller accounts
state that two of them were shot dead
Two were all that were seen. 1t is supposed
that there were others near at hand, and
that they were afraid to come to the assist
ance of their companions
The railroad companies whose trains are
supposed to be liable to be attacked do not
appear to have taken any precautions to
protect their passengers from being robbed
and the express companies, which carry
large amounts of money through the danger
Gus territory, have not, as far as the public
knows made any provision against train
robbing beyond furnishing their agents
with extra arms. However the express
companies promptly make good the losses
which their patrons suffer through them,
and nobody, therefore, has much fault to
find with them
Messenger Smith showed himself to be a
cool and courageous man. and train robbers
will be careful ia future to let the trains
alone ON which he is messenger. His en-
ployers and the railway company should
recognize his services in an appropriate way
not only because he deserves such recogni-
ton, but also because if proper apprecia-
ton of his brave act is shown other messen-
gers will be more likely to follow his exam
pie should the occasion for doing SO arise.

The rivalry among the New York city
papers is so great that they have about
ceased to have much independence. They
all appear to be striving to gain the favor
of the crowd rather than to direct the
crowd with regard to the proper course to
pursue. A week ago the most of them were
sure that Delaney Nicoll, an assistant NJ
the District Attorneys Office, who ma lie
quite a reputation in the Doodle trials,
should be made District Attorney to sue
coed Mr.. MARITIME, and now about all of
them think that somebody else should be
District Attorney. Mr.. Nicoll has not
changed but the newspapers have, and that,
too, without any satisfactory reason.

Rev. Sam Small is down on the Germans.
He said in New York speech Sunday that
he would rather Bismarck were an absolute
monarch in this country than that it should
be controlled by Germans. Perhaps there
yet remains in the Rev. Sans mind some
of the jealousy he must at one time have
felt of the self-control which enables the
German to drink without getting drunk
Mr.. Small seems to have turned from in
temperance in drink to intemperance in
speech.

of supplying his pear-loving neighbors with
